Highlander material cloth

[Thomba48]

Hi - my seats will unfortunately need some upholstery work done to them rather sooner than later. I hope that I shall be able to reuse the existing vinyl material, but the fabric cloth itself looks worn down. I was thinking about using the Highlander fabric design - I know maybe not period like and certainly not Plymouth correct.

 

I know SMS auto fabrics offers them - but I can not seem to get through to them anymore. Do they still exist? Any other vendors that might offer this type of fabric?

 

thanks

I spoke with SMS last week.  Give them a phone call.   1.503.263.3535

OK - so it looks like the online system just does not work right now. thanks

Expect to pay about $100 a yard for the correct plaid

in my opinion as the material is not stock to that car, that is unreal prices for just a plaid fabric....I would think one could find suitable in other outlets...but again, just my thoughts...

 

just one fabric that pops up under the    highlander plaid upholstery fabric        search

Seat covers might a cheap alternative.

They were in the car when I bought it.

Thom - SMS Auto Fabrics makes Highlander cloth, I had looked into this as a potential for my convertible interior, as inserts to reduce the leather cost.  However it proved to be only a minor change, so I decided to go all leather.

Mark - thanks. Well that is certainly too dear :-(

Noticed these on ebay the other day. They're plaid too : ) not sure they'll fit your car? Maybe?

Thom a couple of guys I was chatting with a couple weeks ago suggested that I look into plaid wool blankets.  Might be an option that is more affordable.

I was thinking about using Pendelton wool fabric for my seats.

Keep in mind that a wool blanket is made for covering your body and not for supporting your body......in the long run I think you would be better off going with stronger material as the wool blanket will stretch and not regroup leaving wrinkles.

I drive my Chrysler's and DT in my Pendleton Tarten Plaid Highlander jacket! Covers part of my body too!

Looking for pants and the hat too!

Pee Wee Herman may be able to help you out here.....lol

[Dodgeb4ya]

I don't need Mr Hermans  help Tim!

I don't think Pee Wee could ever be as swanky as me in design and dress...

I think a 5th of Crown Royal.... some new Royal Stewart Pendleton pants and matching Scottish hat...

I'll be ready for the 1st Spring car show in Duvall!

[Plymouthy Adams]

well...just trying to help, someone has to know where Pee Wee gets his rags.....I got a highlander hat but not in the tones of red to match your jacket.....

Yes, that could make sense :-)

SMS still exists but be cautious, do an internet search about issues with their turn around time and customer service. Once they have your money you basically don’t matter anymore. Lots of horror stories on them on the web.
